I wasn't able to trigger the issue again with git, and the only way I've
managed to trigger the issue is repeatedly building the kernel in a
loop:
while true; do
git clean -fdx > /dev/null 2>&1;
make defconfig > /dev/null 2>&1;
make > /dev/null > 2>&1;
done
Which after a while died:
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
I didn't see anything interesting in dmesg, but I was able to get at

I also ran ps aux, but I didn't see any stale tasks lying around, nor
did any remaining tasks seem to account for all that active anonymous
memory.
I'll see if I can reproduce on x86.
Thanks,
Mark.
